Carefree Path of Dreams

Panda Novel

Now!

Fang Yuan received the Demon Dragon’s strike, seemingly unable to evade in time, and the strike perfectly delivered him toward the Lord Pan Palace.

Rumble!

Dense blood-colored light emitted from his body, making him appear like a giant, bloody man. He was flung directly into the palace.

Ghosteye was speechless.

So was Ba Dao.

“Hehe… What a sly lad!”

Sky Fiend Dao Master let out a hostile laugh and charged toward the Lord Pan Palace.

Roar! Roar!

The Demon Dragon curled up as if it was forming a Long Coiling Snake Array, concealing the Lord Pan Palace and its own vulnerability.

Faced with such a scene, even Ghosteye became anxious.

“The Demon Dragon is protecting the Lord Pan Palace with its body and clearly won’t take the initiative to attack. That’s troublesome!”

Ghosteye said quickly, “How about fighting our way out of this place? As long as we block the exit, Nangong Wuwang will be as good as dead!”

The Heaven Deity Palace would only be opened for a limited period of time. Once he missed the deadline, he would have no chance of survival!

“A mere Demon Dragon!”

Ba Dao roared with rage and wielded his saber again.

Roar! Roar!

A giant, golden dragon suddenly rose from the Spring Autumn Dragon Saber in brilliant golden light. “Die! The Proud Dragon Repents!”

The concentrated saber radiance appeared as if an ancient divine dragon was descending into the world once more.

Even the Demon Dragon bowed its head in awe.

Poof!

Blood splattered from the wounds on the Demon Dragon’s body, but it seemed determined to maintain its posture without any sign of relaxation.

Ba Dao can actually cause such damage when he fights with full strength… Ghosteye was astonished when he witnessed this. Furthermore… why are they so insistent? Could they have obtained some information about a treasure that they can’t let go of in this palace?

With this thought, he looked at Sky Fiend Dao Master doubtfully.

“Since you have this interest, how can I let you fight alone?”

Sky Fiend Dao Master smiled. His Sky Fiend Claw emitted dark light around him, and the light transformed into the illusion of a frightening demon.

“Great! That’s how Sky Fiend Dao Master should be!” Ba Dao laughed. “We might be able to slaughter this beast if we collaborate!”

…

While the top Divine Armament owner and Demonic Armament owner were fighting against the Demon Dragon outside…

Fang Yuan strolled through the Lord Pan Palace with the Blood Imbibing Saber.

Although this palace was huge, there was only a single core room. The vast room had all sorts of murals on its bronze walls.

“Pan opened the world and created all life…” Fang Yuan understood the exact meaning conveyed by the first bronze mural. “This should be describing Pan’s accomplishment, as well as the virtue manifested by him transforming into the Celestial Thearch Sword to protect the world…”

The bronze mural in the end suddenly changed, its vast aura shocking Fang Yuan. “This is… Lord Pan’s Dao! He could actually express his Dao path through a catalog!”

The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao ¹ .

But in fact, the idea that a Great Dao was too mysterious to be expressed was an utter joke!

The lack of deep understanding about the Dao was the only reason why it could not be expressed in the correct form.

Otherwise, any Dao path could ultimately be expressed through martial arts, magical powers, images, and even fantastical symbols.

As the Creator God, Lord Pan injected all of his Dao here. It was extremely precious!

Even the Sanguine Demon was speechless.

Having obtained all of this, I can attempt to form my own Dao path with the aid of the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell after I return!

Fang Yuan felt extremely satisfied.

Even as an incarnation, he had benefited a lot.

At least, his barrier faced at 9-Essence Demon Master was quietly but smoothly broken through in his original body, bringing his aura to a profound and immeasurable realm.

“I see!” shouted the Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul suddenly. “The Celestial Thearch Sword isn’t here, but the Celestial Thearch Sword Formulation is…”

The Celestial Thearch Sword Formulation was the expression of Pan’s Dao in the form of swordsmanship!

While martial arts that might surpass the heaven-grade was sealed inside the Celestial Thearch Sword, its source was Pan’s Dao, which was recorded here!

Therefore, this place could be regarded as Pan’s real inheritance.

“Also… the Celestial Thearch Sword may be hidden here as well.”

As Fang Yuan read the murals, his aura became more uncertain, and his tone was increasingly unpredictable. Realizing this, the Sanguine Demon lapsed into silence.

“This is the Divine Demon realm of martial artists!”

Fang Yuan exhaled and laughed gently when he reached the last mural.

He had been only a single step away from the Divine Demon realm. After seeing the God Pan Catalog, he broke through the barrier, and his stats changed significantly:

“Name: Fang Yuan (Nangong Wuwang)

Essence: 300

Spirit: 300

Magic: 300

Cultivation: Divine Demon Realm

Technique: Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art (Third Realm), Great Sanguine Demon Technique

Specialization: Botany [Level Six] (Maximum), Heavenly Eye Seer Spell (Fake), Body of Origin Power, Demonic Armament—Blood Imbibing Saber”

“The Divine Demon realm?”

Fang Yuan smiled, not taking it seriously at all.

He had been at the top position of a world so many times that he no longer felt exhilarated by it.

What truly intrigued him was the last mural of the God Pan Catalog.

It was the image of Pan sacrificing himself and transforming into the Celestial Thearch Sword. He took a glance at it and immediately felt fierce Sword Qi surging out of it.

Amid the Sword Qi, there were traces of Saber Qi, making it a spectacular scene.

Fang Yuan noticed that at the end of the catalog, someone had carved seven ‘slaughter’s with a saber! Each of the words was distinct from the rest, with the Buddhist understanding of large-scale annihilation and silence. It seemed to convey the idea that righteousness was at the end of a demon’s path, and that a demon who renounced his saber could immediately become a Buddha.

“The Lord Pan Palace is made of a mysterious material that can repair itself even after damage. It would be extremely difficult for a common Divine Armament owner to leave behind these carvings. Unless… he was a martial artist in the Divine Demon realm!”

Fang Yuan walked closer to the wall, immediately finding a line below the seven big ‘slaughter’s. “My name is Nie Kuang. I’ve been the owner of the Demonic Armament, Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, since I was twenty years old. I’ve killed people all over the world, but I achieved enlightenment after entering the Heaven Deity Palace and seeing Lord Pan’s inheritance. Thus, I sealed the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber here…”

“The previous owner of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, Nie Kuang?!

“I heard that he was the utmost demon in this world, and the entire Pugilistic World was scared of him. A few holy grounds were exterminated and nearly couldn’t pass down their inheritance…

“Who would’ve expected… that he disappeared from the Pugilistic World because he sealed himself here? Presumably, he wanted the secret in the Lord Pan Palace, and that Demon Dragon wasn’t strong enough to stop him. However, he achieved enlightenment after seeing the God Pan Catalog? And he sealed the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber here to prevent it from causing disasters?”

Fang Yuan generally deduced what had happened.

Pan was equivalent to a true Demon God! His Dao was extremely tempting in the eyes of great beings on the verge of a breakthrough.

The Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul had his own Dao path, and Fang Yuan was in the middle of forming his own using past experience. This was why neither of them were shaken by it. If any other Demon Masters had entered this place, they would most probably submit themselves to God Pan’s Dao.

To Demon Masters, this would be equivalent to adopting an External Dao! With a corrupted foundation, it would be impossible for them to make further progress!

“Nie Kuang was an illustrious man in his generation. It’s a pity that he didn’t see through it in the end!”

Fang Yuan let out a faint sigh.

“Wait a moment… Where’s the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber?” asked the Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul. They could see everything in this vast but empty palace, yet there was no trace of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber nor Nie Kuang’s corpse.

“It’s pretty simple. Since Nie Kuang sealed himself here, he wouldn’t want to be discovered by intruders! Besides… the seven ‘slaughter’s are peculiar, and I suspect that he didn’t leave them behind on purpose. Instead, he should’ve been influenced by the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber. After all, this Demonic Armament can control one’s soul. It was a crucial reason why Nie Kuang had slaughtered so many people… and it wouldn’t want to be sealed up like this forever!”

Fang Yuan took a step forward. “Sanguine Demon… Didn’t you boast that your power wouldn’t be weaker than the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber after recovering? Here’s your opportunity to show it. Don’t disappoint me!”

“Hold on a second! My Essence Soul has yet to be completely repaired, and my fragments are still missing…” protested the Sanguine Demon immediately.

He knew his own capability. The Blood Imbibing Saber would currently not fear the fourth Divine Armament and Demonic Armament, but if he was told to confront the top Demonic Armament, the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, which was only second to the Celestial Thearch Sword? He had better act prudently.

However, Fang Yuan did not care about the complaint. He touched the first of the seven ‘slaughter’s with his finger.

Rumble!

A shocking stream of Saber Qi and demonic thoughts immediately flowed through his fingertip into his sea of consciousness.

“Slaughter! Slaughter! Slaughter!

“Heaven is unjust! Slaughter it! Earth is unfair! Slaughter it! Mortals have no principle! Slaughter them! Everything in the world can be slaughtered!

“Martial artists should slaughter others without sympathy. Your undertaking will be remembered eternally if you keep slaughtering!”

…

Frightening murderous impulse pounded Fang Yuan’s mind like mighty waves.

“With such intense murderous impulse, it’s no wonder that the owner of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber in every generation was a homicidal maniac…”

Fang Yuan sneered. His mind was as firm as a massive rock, and the murderous thoughts crumbled upon hitting it, scattering saber moves and saber intents.

“The Sky Fiend Seven Slaughter Saber Technique?” Fang Yuan studied it carefully. “While its interpretation about a Great Dao is slightly inferior to God Pan’s, the killing techniques are enough to shock the heavens and the earth!”

His finger traced the seven ‘slaughter’s continuously.

As expected, after receiving attacks from countless murderous impulses, he completely mastered the Sky Fiend Seven Slaughter Style.

Whoosh!

Moreover, when he finished the last stroke, the bronze wall shook violently and crumbled, revealing a space behind it.

Buzz! Buzz!

Saber radiance gleamed. Fang Yuan could immediately see a martial artist, about thirty years old, sitting cross-legged in the space behind the wall. He was holding on to a black saber!

Nie Kuang! The Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber!

“He… took the form of a Vajrasattva after death?!”

It looked as if Nie Kuang’s corpse was alive, and Fang Yuan had to acknowledge that this previous owner of the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber was a handsome man.

Furthermore, he had been dead for so many years, but his corpse was mysteriously free from rotting. Instead, it became harder than diamond.

Roar! Roar!

Meanwhile, the Demon Dragon shrieked pathetically outside the Lord Pan Palace. Its giant head rolled onto the ground, and blood poured out like a waterfall!
